How Texas Decides Visitation And Parenting Time Issues

Texas courts are required to put the best interests of the child first when determining child custody orders. Generally, judges will find that the child’s best interests include joint custody, meaning both parents get time with the children. There are two variations of joint custody, one where both parents share in making important life decisions for the children and another where one parent takes the bulk of responsibility.

Joint managing custody: Both parents are responsible for making important life decisions for their child, including medical care and education. The children will spend the majority of time with one parent and the other parent will have visitation time. Parents generally have substantial discretion in determining the scheduling of visits and parenting time in this arrangement.

Sole managing custody: One parent takes responsibility for making decisions on the care of the child. This parent will also be the custodial parent, who the child will reside with after the custody case has concluded. The noncustodial parent will typically get visitation rights or limited parenting time.

Child Custody Factors

There are many different factors that judges consider when approving child custody agreements. Examples include:

Status of the parent-child relationship

Employment issues, such as frequent travel

Frequent changes of physical address

Financial status of the parents

History of child abuse and/or neglect

Chemical dependency
